Hello!
I have not cut in nearly 10 years but have been struggling with urges to cut and suicidal ideation. I am 29 and a mother of an 8 year old daughter. Looking for support and friendship. I am a teacher and love my job. Last edited by Anonymous59786; Jun 24, 2017 at 02:19 PM. Reason: added trigger |

I haven't been for a long time and I still have not been put back on any medication. I just started seeing a new Counselor. They are going to try this before putting me back on medication.

i am a cutter, i havent cut in several weeks... it comes in waves for me
when i hit a major depressive episode... i know how hard it is i try to distract myself when the urges come, can you use ice cubes instead? splash cold water on your face or dip your face in a sink of cold water play a fun, fast paced video game? take a walk with a friend..? or talk with someone close to you? i see my scars and it discourages me... i dont want more scars, but sometimes its not enough and i end up cutting anyway... talking sometimes helps, if you have anyone you can talk to to distract you from it... its really a difficult thing... we have to find what works for us because everyone is different... i am 27 year old male, single with no kids btw...

indeed
 i dont have the desire or urge to cut at all now... it goes away and i feel awful about doing it... the scars dont go away and are a terrible reminder... i never understand why i do it... but i struggle with the stupid addictions and mental illness that makes my personality change i guess... are you doing okay now? distractions are what works most for me... distractions distractions distractions... but i have ADHD and as long as i can keep my mind racing on other things i can hopefully keep my mind off the cutting when the urge comes

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
